Song of Songs 2:7

_ _ by the roes  not an oath but a solemn charge, to act as cautiously as the hunter would with the wild roes, which are proverbially timorous; he must advance with breathless circumspection, if he is to take them; so he who would not lose Jesus Christ and His Spirit, which is easily grieved and withdrawn, must be tender of conscience and watchful (Ezekiel 16:43; Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:19). In Margin, title of Psalms 22:1, Jesus Christ is called the “Hind of the morning,” hunted to death by the dogs (compare Song of Songs 2:8, Song of Songs 2:9, where He is represented as bounding on the hills, Psalms 18:33). Here He is resting, but with a repose easily broken (Zephaniah 3:17). It is thought a gross rudeness in the East to awaken one sleeping, especially a person of rank.

_ _ my love  in Hebrew, feminine for masculine, the abstract for concrete, Jesus Christ being the embodiment of love itself (Song of Songs 3:5; Song of Songs 8:7), where, as here, the context requires it to be applied to Him, not her. She too is “love” (Song of Songs 7:6), for His love calls forth her love. Presumption in the convert is as grieving to the Spirit as despair. The lovingness and pleasantness of the hind and roe (Proverbs 5:19) is included in this image of Jesus Christ.

Song of Songs 2:7

I charge you  This is spoken by the bride. By the roes  By the example of those creatures, which are pleasant and loving in their carriage towards one another. Nor awake  That you do not disturb nor offend him. 'Till  Never, as this word, until, in such phrases, is commonly used. For neither can sin ever please him, nor can the church bear it that Christ should ever be offended.
